ing the part to ripen the tumour> by rowelling, 

 and by plenty of good corn. 



The canker in the horfe begins in his mouth, 

 I have known it increafe to that degree as to 

 eat the tongue completely through. The on- 

 ly way of curing a canker is to deftroy it at its 

 firft appearance. It may be known by the 

 horfe chewing his food, and letting it drop out 

 of his mouth again, and fhewing a difficulty in 

 fwallowing. To cure it, mix bole armenic 

 with fome of the fharpeft white wine vinegar 

 or alegar, add a little honey, and mix the v/hole 

 up to the confidence of cream. Take a (tick, 

 tie fome tow round one end of it, and rub the 

 part affeded, which at that time will not per- 

 haps be bigger than a pea : but you may rub 

 all over the mouth by way of prevention. If 

 you are early in this application, you will dif- 

 pel the tumour, and cure your horfe : but if 

 you delay till it breaks forth all over his gums 

 and tongue, it will require longer time to work 

 a cure. The fame application will cure the 

 canker in any other part.
